Hi -
Regexs don't work against a list context (I here something's
coming in Perl 6).
So use:
s/"//g for (@device);
(I don't think " needs to be escaped.)
This snippet removes ALL "s (g operator),
even those in the middle. For just beginning
and end:
for (@device) {
s/^"//;
s/"$//;
}
Maybe someone will tell us how to put that in
one regex.
Aloha => Beau.

Subject: Removing "s
I have a SQL statement using DBI that pulls a list of devices from a data
base column:
$device_Names->execute or die "...etc...";
I'm printing the output to a file:
my @device;
while ( @device = $device_Names->fetchrow_array()) {
print FILE "@device\n";
}
some of the device are surrounded my quotations ie "router01".
does anyone know of a way to remove these " if they are present before i
write to the file??
i've tried using a regexp @device =~ s/\"//; before the print statement but
had no joy :-(
Any help would be much appreciated, Cheers!
